Well, as far as UBI goes, I think it's a better way to spend government money than most entitlements.
But i disagree with UBI for other reasons. it's naive to think that you can simply replace government programs with UBI.
  • Even with UBI, some people are going to squander their money / not take care of themselves. They'll be homeless or on drugs or whatever anyway. And then people will vote to spend money to help them, even with UBI.
  • So I don't think UBI can possibly be a full replacement for other government programs, even though I think it would be a better use of government money.

Fair. I assume you mean this due to the distorting nature of most entitlements and the unintended consequences.
